Legally Medicine...

Been hanging around here at the LRU since about 9:45 after finishing the Legal Med prelims examination. Wasn't as hard as I expected, but kinda challenging din naman, especially since 'di naman ako nakapagaral ng mabuti.. =P It was a short exam, only 50 items!! I just hope my luck held up today as I guessed my way through roughly half of the test...

I also took another test of sorts when I got here.. It's a kind of aptitude test which matches your "attitude" to particular fields of specialization. You can take the test at this site: http://www.med-ed.virginia.edu/specialties/

The results showed that the number #1 speciality match for me was Endocrinology (ugh), followed closely by Derma (Santa Banana!)

Longtime favorites Neuro, Patho, and Gastro were placed at 5, 6, and 17 respectively...

This got me thinking.. "Accurate ba talaga 'to? I mean, Internal Med and Neurology have always been frontrunners on my list, but Derma?... Bagay ba ang ugali ko sa Derma?... Hmm, kung sabagay, pogi naman ako.. bwahahaha!! " Joke lang! =P

1 - endocrinology
